Derby will be looking to record three league wins on the trot when they welcome Scunthorpe to Haslams Lane.

After claiming their first away win of the Midlands Premier campaign at Bridgnorth last Saturday, Derby are aiming to maintain their 100% home record on Saturday (3pm kick-off).

It’s three wins out of three at Haslams Lane so far and Derby director of rugby Roxy Fearon said: “We are trying to get a run going.

“I’m always looking to get the points in the bag as quickly as possible and it’s a good opportunity at home on Saturday.

“Scunthorpe have come down to this division after relegation so they may be going through a bit of a rebuilding phase. This could be a good time to play them and test ourselves.

“They are traditionally a good club with a lot of experience of playing at this level. They hammered us the last time we met!”

Following their relegation from National League Two (North), Scunthorpe have won two and lost four to sit third from bottom in the table going into tomorrow’s game. They were beaten 53-25 by Nuneaton at home last weekend.

Derby will field virtually the same starting XV that won 22-21 at Bridgnorth last Saturday, one change seeing Luke Frixou start on the wing instead of the injured Ryan Manning.

But there will be a new face on the bench.

“Jack Dawson has joined us from Cockermouth after moving to the area due to work,” Fearon added.

“He plays at centre and featured for our seconds last week. Jack did well and we want to have a look at him in the firsts.

“Callum Donnelly will also be on the bench with him. He is gradually building his fitness after returning to the club following a spell in New Zealand.

“And in the seconds game away at Towcestrians we will have a look at Louis Hicks who has also joined us recently. He has played at a good level with Nottingham Trent University and will get a chance in the back row.”
